I know nothing about repairing guitars, and I know none of this makes sense, but here goes:
My brother passed away 43 years ago and I have his cheap, 1968-era Japanese import electric guitar that has either a de-lamination or crack in the neck as shown in these pictures. Tapping on the fret board I get a bit of a rattle sound on the right (bottom) side, and a slightly hollow sound on the left (top) side on the very top. Two frets down toward the body it feels and sounds very solid.
I don't think the guitar has value other than the sentimental value I have for it. His acoustic 12 string is playable and what I have occasionally played over the intervening years, but I'd like to maybe play this one again.
The crack appears below the fret board and looks to me like it is in the wood itself, and not simply a de-lamination. Is there an easy way to repair this to prevent further cracking? Epoxy? Superglue?
